It was found that the substituents at 3 and 5 positions of salicylaldehyde in the ligands had great effects on catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of the catalyst. The complex with strong electron withdrawing group (NO 2) at 5 position and the smallest stereo hinder (H) at 3 position of salicylaldehyde showed highly catalytic activity and enantioselectivity, up to ee =87 4% for trans and ee =82 8% for cis isomers respectively, and the ratio 39/61 of cis to trans isomers was obtained at 40 ℃ with 1,2 dichloroethane as solvent.展开更多

In this flourishing area, Chinese chemists have devoted great efforts to different aspects of synthetic chemistry. This review will summarize their representative work according to the following categories: C–H functionalization, synthesis of aromatic aza-heterocycles, asymmetric organic photochemical synthesis, transformations of small molecules and biomolecule-compatible reactions.展开更多
